A solar inverter with an inbuilt transformer offers several advantages over solar inverters without transformer:
Solar Inverters With Or Without Transformer?
- Voltage Regulation: The inbuilt transformer allows for voltage regulation, ensuring a stable and consistent output voltage. Transformers make it possible to step up or step down the output voltage relative to the input voltage. This is particularly beneficial when dealing with fluctuations in the grid supply.
- Galvanic Isolation: In areas with unreliable grids, voltage fluctuations and power surges are common. Solar inverters with transformers provide galvanic isolation, which protects the solar system from potential grid instabilities and voltage irregularities. This enhances safety by preventing current leaks and electrical hazards.
- Enhanced Durability: The presence of a transformer can enhance the inverter’s ability to handle voltage spikes and surges, increasing its overall lifespan.
The choice between the two types of inverters depends on specific application requirements, installation considerations, and the desired level of performance. Though transformer-based inverters may be bulkier and bigger than transformerless inverters, they remain the most suitable technology for developing nations where the grid availability and power quality remain unreliable.
